18th May 13 - Garden Today
Although I say it myself, the garden is 'a picture' at the moment. The weather has warmed up but is still damp. So everything is verdant.
|
| The last of the tulips on the patio |
|
| Acers on the bank |
|
| Look at that for colour! |
|
| The honeysuckle azalea, pieris and rhododendrons by the gate |
|
| The belvedere looking like it is meant to look! |
|
| One of the island beds |
|
| Lacecap verburnums on the slope |
|
| View across the main lawn (with football posts) Aliums just about to come out. |
|
| Love this panoply of colour from the rhododendrons by the pond |
|
| The path. Note the deep pink magnolia - very late but 'in its prime' today |
|
| Love all these different vibrant colours of the rhododendrons and acers |
|
| Now, rhododendrons don't come better than that! |
|
| Finally, the patio tubs at The Beach House. I removed the tulips and left the pansies for a few more weeks. |
